‘Lone Survivor’ Bringing Retro Horror to Wii U
Pixel horror has become an increasingly popular trend for indie horror games as of late, but one of the first to use the art style in a really unique way was Jasper Byrne’s survival horror game Lone Survivor. The game is like a love letter to the survival horror genre, with numerous homages to popular horror games, including Silent Hill. It’s gradually become available on nearly every platform out there, and as it’s made its way to new platforms it’s almost always brought new content with it — especially with the most recent Director’s Cut version that hit PC and Mac last October.
Its latest iteration won’t introduce any new content, but at least Wii U owners will have a chance to experience this fantastic horror game.
“We’re not adding any new content to Lone Survivor, as we added such a huge amount when we originally made the Director’s Cut edition for PlayStation last year,” Curve Studios marketing manager Rob Clarke told Destructoid. “But we’ll have all the content in from the start and we’re making full use of the GamePad.”
Kevin played through part of the Director’s Cut back in March. If you aren’t too familiar with it, feel free to use the video below as a preview.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
